A Message From Peter Gichura

March 1, 2011

From an email I have just recieved:

Dear supporter of Peter,


Thank you so much for signing the petition to stop the deportation of Peter Gichura, the Kenyan disability rights activist, who was scheduled for deportation last Monday.  The good news is that Peter’s solicitor filed an injunction and judicial review, which temporarily delayed the deportation – so Peter is still in London, and still volunteering, supporting fellow disabled Londoners 3 days a week.

However, the situation is still critical, and deportation is a real and urgent threat. We have over 970 signatures on the petition – please can you help us break through the one thousand mark, by sharing the link by email, facebook, twitter, with even more of your friends?  We keep Peter’s MP and solicitor up to date with the totals, so it really helps.


Thank you to everyone who has done so much already – here is a personal message from Peter (he would email you himself, but he doesn’t have regular access to internet at the moment, so as Peter’s friend I’m just helping out..)

“Thank you friends – you have gone the extra mile in my time of need. I am overwhelmed and humbled by the love and support that has been shown me, by so many – those of you who know me, and those of you who don’t.  All of you have a special place in my heart.  Your support gives me hope and strength.”

Other things you can do:
If everyone gets just two more people to sign the petition, we will triple our already fantastic response.
Assante Sana (“thanks very much” in Swahili) from Peter and from all of us campaigning to stop his deportation.
Best wishes,

Lee Webster
